The Big Picture As slinky, winding, and poisonously disquieting as a real snake, The Essex Serpent is a gem within Apple TV+'s impressive lexicon. Based on the novel by Sarah Perry , the miniseries marks Claire Danes's return to television after her Emmy Award-winning role in Homeland. It also welcomes Tom Hiddleston back to the Gothic romance stage after Guillermo Del Toro's heinously underrated Crimson Peak.
Release Date 2022-00-00 Creator Anna Symon Cast Claire Danes , Tom Hiddleston , Frank Dillane , Hayley Squires ‘The Essex Serpent’ Is Perfectly Gothic From the opening scene where a young woman begs for God's absolution as she enters marshy waters, only for her to scream and vanish from view, The Essex Serpent is Gothic to its bones. Adapted by Anna Symon and directed by Clio Barnard, the production surpasses even the quality expected of Apple TV+.
Claire Danes’s Performance Anchors ‘The Essex Serpent' Close Cora is all these things and more. Just like The Essex Serpent's layered themes, Cora exists at the intersection of Darwinian naturalism, science, medicine, religion, and the supernatural. The script, the direction, and Claire Danes's performance present Cora's complicated nature with an empathetic touch. Our protagonist carries many scars.
